Between A Rock And A Side Wall

FUN FACTS OF THE DAY:
-First Bead Found!
-First Gatorade Experience (Christina)
-Flat Tire… bummer!
-Duct tape has latex! Uh oh.
-Test Pit 1… lives on!

Today Wendy, our finds officer, will be arriving. The whole crew is excited for her arrival.

Today was another great day on site. We had the company of Jack and Gale

to help us excavate. Jack even found half a bead in test pit 5 today!! The whole crew was very impressed.



Test Pit 1 is nearing its in end, as most of the pit is now covered in very large rocks. Brain and Dawn have not found too much lately in test pit 1, however Jessica is not giving up quite yet.



Test pit 2 has bottomed out at bedrock but Anna and Christina have started digging test pit 4 adjacent to test pit 2. So far, several flakes have been found!

Tomorrow Jack will continue the new test pit started on the upper terrace and a new test pit will likely be started! Everyone is looking forward to the new test pit, as it looks like a promising site for finds. Jessica also hopes to continue will test pit 1, but is not sure how that will turn out.



THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS WEEK:
-In-depth tutorial on lithic morphology
-Fraser’s Lecture
-Greg’s Lecture
-Fort Tejon
-Board Game Challenge Night!

  1. Great finds! Looks from here like it is a California mussel (Mytilus californianus) bead. Hopefully it has some friends!
